Aurora Borealis, also called the northern light, is a phenomenon in the Earth's atmosphere that can be observed in darkness. It can be seen at high latitudes which means that the phenomenon is visible especially in winter. As the northern lights occur we often see a slight glow or it is slightly visible as moving arches, beams or curtains of light and very rarely it even flames. Sometimes on the Northern horizon it raises like a bow from which the light beams as if it were a search light. Before science could explain the origin of the northern lights, there were several explanations found in folklore and the mythologies of different cultures. The issue of life and death, the relationship with the spirit world and the struggle between supernatural forces in the sky, are several examples. These explanations made the phenomenon terrifying for many people.
